I for one am very much looking forward to using Window's Vista once it is fully released. There seems to be much to look forward to; new features, better stability, better performance. I'm reading up on it right now on the Microsoft Website, and I can't wait to install it on my old Acer laptop. She's only got a 1.5 ghz celeron and an old intel graphics chip, but I'm sure that..........wait, what do they mean by 'Minimum system requirements'?
At a naval air show several years ago I had the opportunity to see (and hear) an F-14 do some acrobatic demonstrations. In one move, the pilot brought the plane into alignment with the runway and dropped to about 140 knots in a 'simulated' carrier landing. He skimmed the runway with his wheels down before going full throttle/full afterburner and pulling out at about a 25 degree angle. Very impressive, but loud enough to make your ears hurt.
So what was the 1st loudest jet I've ever heard?
Harrier on a Verticle landing. Ouch.
A shit-load of cash and a bunch of new hardware, apparently.
Seriously, I need a DUAL CORE CPU just to watch a fricken HD DVD? Are you serious? What is a new HD DVD set top box going to look like, a cray supercomputer?
"Lowering taxes may temporarily increase revenues if the economy actually grows, but the correlation between economic growth and lower taxes is not proven and there is plenty of reason to believe that a capitalist economy would still go through cycles regardless of whether taxes exist or not."
Uhh.... you've never run a business, have you?
I can tell you from experience that lower taxes has a direct impact on my ability to expand my business. Taxes are rolled into my overall operating costs - 'overhead' as the layman calls it - and this directly affects the margins. Taxes that my business pays are passed to my customers which affects demands for my services. Lowering my taxes allows me to decrease my price (i.e. become more competetive) and that results in more product moved.
BTW - I'm one of those 'rich' people that everyone is always screaming about. I brought home about $40,000 last year. My business grossed nearly $1 mil, but net when it was all said and done was that, after paying my own taxes and expenses, I brought home about the same that an average wage earner would. I run an LCC under Sub chapter S rules - I file my business under my personal income taxes. So yes 'tax breaks for the wealthy' directly resulted in my business being in a better position to grow. I added a worker this year too - a position that may not have been available if the added overhead - taxes - still existed as they did before 2002.
Interestingly enough, you missed the entire point of the collapsable frame.
The point is not to reduce absorbtion of impact energy, but to redistribute that energy so that the cabin of the vehicle takes less than the part being struck. In your same misguided soda can example, you have made the entire vehicle the cabin, which few cars sans the VW minibus actually replicate. Crumple Zones (as the industry likes to call them) are designed so that the impact energy transmitted at the front of the vehicle (bumper) is distributed only along the support structure that we want. A stiff frame will PASS the impact energy along it's length and it will be absorbed initially by the WEAKEST point, which inevitably is the cabin of the vehicle. "Crumple zones" present the weakest point to the transferred energy before it travels to the cabin, thus transmitting less of the energy to the cabin.
No - he would do so because his constituants (which you just confirmed are the majority of americans) want these things. We do live in a representative republic (not a democracy, as some think) and it is up to the president to do what he thinks is the will of the majority of americans. IF the majority is against gay marriage then I hoep the president follows this, because that is how our system of government is supposed to work. Would you prefer he followed the MINORITY?
By the way, get your facts straight. He has not BANNED stem cell research, he has threatened to veto increased funding. President Bush is actually the first president to provide federal funding for stem cell research. Most stem cell research prior to that was funded by the private sector, especially during the Clinton years when NO federal funding was granted for stem cell research.
This isn't a kernel driver - this is a userspace utility. You are correct that the NTFS driver included in the linux kernel does not have reliable write ability, but this has nothing to do with the kernel NTFS read driver.

Yeah, what a great quote. It might as well read: "I'm not good enough to take care of myself - I require government assistance."
Someone needs to tell Macafee that it is time to put on their white shirts, roll up their sleeves, cross their arms and scowl.
